Borders Coupons

[Patrick]

Has anyone tried to use either of these coupons ($9.99 or 40% off) more than once? I'm not sure I will try, but I am tempted.

After saying I hardly go into Borders, I've now made three purchases. Tonight I used these two coupons to get 3 RVGs, Andrew Hill Dance with Death, Joe Zawinul Brown Street, and Manu Katche Neighbourhood. When I used the $9.99 discount, the worker swiped a different coupon that was 3 for $11.99: http://www.bordersmedia.com/coup/coupon_1199cd0924.htm

When I told him it was 3 for 9.99 each, he was a bit surprised but rang me up appropriately. I guess the emails to this area were the 11.99 version (this is the version I received via email). I then returned with the 40% coupon and pointed it out to him before he started ringing up my order. He was quite surprised, having not seen it before, and then complained that Borders was issuing these nice coupons when he was low on cash. [What kind of discount do Borders' workers get these days?]

Up, because these expire after tomorrow and they're both pretty sweet deals.

I used them both today.

The clerk kind of gave me a weird look & had to ring up the 2 coupons as separate transactions to make it all work, but work it did.

Thanks for the new coupons. I used the 40% off one to pick up Charles Earland Black Talk RVG remaster for like $7. The $9.99 coupon would be great for expensive single-disc titles like Mofi Gold CD's, but I couldn't find any. I'll head back today for another round. These are great coupons.

I used my 40% coupon today to get some of the new RVGs, about 7 bucks a pop.

I stopped by after work to pick them up, and as usual (from my experience with pretty much every Borders I've been to across the country) the new releases weren't filed yet. I just go and find the new release cart and dig around until I find what I'm searching for- that takes a lot less time than trying to explain what you want to an employee ("Oh yes, we have Midnight Special in stock...." "Is it the new RVG reissue?" "Huh?")

Also, starting tomorrow they're offering the 25% educator discount. That goes on for a week or so.

Although I think I've done enough damage for awhile.......some very good deals this week.

Just used the 40% off coupon to get:

Miles Davis - Live at The 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival

Joe Henderson - Inner Urge RVG

Sonny Rollins - The Bridge (Bluebird remaster)

... and was in such a hurry to get back to work that I realized he only took 40% off one title, so I need to go back there again after I get off.

Yes, I had to "supervise" the transaction with both coupons. Good luck!

EDIT: BTW, nice choices TF! If you haven't heard the Miles yet, let us know what you think. I've been listening to it repeatedly and I think it's outstanding!

Yep, the Joe and Newk were things I never got around to adding to my collection and at 7 bucks a pop, couldn't pass up... got my credit back and also used the $9.99 coupon to get Ornette's "Sound Grammar" and the Sam Cooke "Portrait of a Legend" hybrid SACD. The Miles sounds great so far. Tony is smoking on this one.

Anyone interested in the On the Corner box that hasn't got it already might want to check their local Borders - mine just got 4 copies in last week. I used a 25% off coupon to pick one up last weekend - if I'd known they were going to have a 30% off one, I'd have waited. Depending on tax in your locale, you should be able to get it for less than CD Universe is charging with the 30% off coupon.

Any idea if these are good for CDs I've asked them to hold at the checkout for me?

As long as they're single CDs, I don't know why there would be a problem. Multiple CD sets aren't included in the sale. Go for it!

The coupon's exclusions read, "Does not apply to special orders, reservations or easy shipping."

Although I seriously doubt they would make a deal about it.

For anyone that slept through the 40% coupon, here's the consolation prize: 30% off purchase of $10 or more through the 18th.
